//------------------------------// // The kiss of true love // Story: Nightmare Moon is Maleficent // by Twilight Star //------------------------------// Nightmare Moon, Discord and Flash Sentry arrived at the castle. But there were no royal guards in sight. They took the opportunity to enter the castle.    It took a few minutes to find the room where Twilight Sparkle was. How did they find out what Twilight Sparkle was on? Simple, when they saw the three Brezzies at the door, waiting for possibly an enchanted prince. Nightmare Moon looked at Flash Sentry, “Now go there!” whispered Nightmare Moon. Flash Sentry did as Nightmare Moon asked and headed for the door. Apple Bloom brightened, “a prince! How nice! Come on in!” Brezzie Apple Bloom opened the door. Brezzie Sweetie Belle and Brezzie Scotaloo followed. Nightmare Moon and Discord followed and were hidden in a place to change clothes. How transparent it was, they could see.  Flash Sentry saw Twilight Sparkle sleeping in bed, “so what?” asked Brezzie Apple Bloom.  “So what what?” asked Flash Sentry.  “Kiss her!” exclaimed Apple Bloom.  “But it’s wrong to kiss a mare while she sleeps”, argued Flash Sentry.  “Wouldn’t you like to kiss her?” asked Breezie Scootaloo.  “Yes but…”  “Don’t you think she’s beautiful?”  “Yes. I think she’s pretty”, replied Flash Sentry.  “Then kiss her”, said Breezie Sweetie Belle.  Flash Sentry pursed her lips. Nightmare Moon was expecting it would work. It had to work. Otherwise what else would the cure be? When Flash Sentry ended the kiss, he expected to see Twilight Sparkle awake. But she was still sleeping.  “You’re not a prince!” accused Breezie Apple Bloom.  “False!” accused Breezie Sweetie Belle.  “Get out of here!” exclaimed Breezie Scootaloo.  The Brezzies took Flash Sentry out. And they closed the door. What they didn’t know was that Nightmare Moon and Discord were in the room. Nightmare Moon and Discord approached the bed where Twilight Sparkle slept, “I told you”, said Nightmare Moon to Discord.  Nightmare Moon looked at the sleeping form of Twilight Sparkle, “I won’t ask for your forgiveness, Twilight. What I did was unforgivable. I was blind with hate”, Nightmare Moon began to cry.  “You were the glow in my darkness,” Nightmare Moon kissed Twilight Sparkle’s forehead. “Goodbye”  Nightmare Moon started to move away from the bed. What she didn’t realize was that Twilight Sparkle was waking up. When she woke up she looked at Nightmare Moon, “hello, fairy godmother”  Nightmare Moon, still with tears in her eyes, looked back and saw Twilight Sparkle awake. Nightmare Moon smiled, “Glad you woke up! I thought I lost you forever!” Discord just watched this beautiful scene.
